End of the road for Internet Radio. Stay to keep it going denied

One attack after another to shut down alternative voices

The U.S. Court of Appeals DENIED the emergency stay requested by Webcasters. UNLESS CONGRESS ACTS BY JULY 15th, it is the end of the road for Internet radio. There is a massive coordinated action to flood Congress with demands for action today. Please join us!

. . .

PLEASE CALL YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES RIGHT AWAY and urge them to support the Internet Equality Act. Go to http://www.capwiz.com/... to find the phone numbers of your Senators and Representative.

For your House representatives, the bill is H.R. 2060. For your Senator, the bill is S. 1353 Click on the links to see if your rep is a co-sponsor. If they've already co-sponsored, thank them and tell them to fight to bring the bill to the floor for an immediate vote. If the line is busy, please call back. Call until you know your voice has been heard.

Your voices are what have gotten us this far - Congress has listened. Now, they are our only hope.

We are outmatched by lobbying power and money but we are NOT outmatched by facts and passion and the power of our voices.

Again, please go to http://www.capwiz.com/... to find the necessary phone numbers and make the call today.

Thank you,

I got this from a dkos diary where you can find more working links

Lobbyists are working hard to take the internet out of our hands and limit use of it to their client's purposes.

2. Call up your reps and ask if they would like to start paying for thier

postage, dry cleaning, etc., because we can't afford their lying parasitic asses anymore. If we end up being ripped up daily by their corporate sponsers, then screw 'em.

7. It sure did this time. Surprised the heck out of me

This subject has been brought up several times previously and threads dropped like a rock. That is how I first found out about it and called my Rep. She signed on to sponsor the bill.

We need more calls.

12. Last Chance...Many Stations Plan To Go Silent On Monday

I've posted on this topic several times...Not much response here. Its sad as Internet radio and its technology is about to become monopolized and controlled like over-the-air radio...and sadly no one gives a shit.

Well, it was fun while it lasted.
